December Newsletter

The Ducklings have been putting their baking skills to the test and have been baking lots in November. Our favourite was Vegan Cupcakes! We started by collecting all the ingredients and then enjoyed pouring the ingredients into the bowl and stirring the mixture. All the Ducklings used their fine motor skills to mix all the ingredients together. We practiced taking turns and waiting patiently and the children all did so well! They then helped scoop the mixture into the cupcake cases so they could be sent to the kitchen to be cooked. The Ducklings also celebrated Diwali throughout November. We loved exploring the tuff tray with the shaving foam and painting our very own Rangoli pattern. We spoke about all the different colours and experimented with mixing them together. As well as this, we made our own Diwali lanterns; the Ducklings did a great job at gluing and sticking lots of pretty feathers on, and we then put them up in our window for everyone to see. The Ducklings have been really enjoying singing the “3 Little Speckled Frogs” nursery rhyme! Following on from this interest we made a Speckled Frog sensory tray for the Ducklings to explore. The children enjoyed finding the 3 little frogs and exploring the water on their feet, using their different senses throughout. As always, the Ducklings have been going out on walks to Roundhay Park. We walked back through the woodland and went on our own mini bear hunt adventure. Although we saw no bears, we did find lots of doggies! We also ventured to the Charity shops where the Ducklings found different cultural items, they were so good at giving the shopkeeper some money to pay for our special items. Ducklings Room News
